Golden Plover (Pluvialis apricaria)

Distinctive bird of upland moors and pastures and can be found wintering in Shropshire in decent sized flocks. Lives up to its name in winter plumage but in summer, the gold really sparkles and plumage at that time is heightened by the development of extensive black to the underparts
